Norgine is one of Europe’s leading specialty pharmaceutical companies. The company develops and markets high-quality, innovative products for the treatment of acute and chronic illnesses for the benefit of both patients and physicians. Founded in 1906, Norgine has extensive worldwide presence in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Australasia.

In addition to developing, manufacturing and marketing its own pharmaceutical products, Norgine works with partner companies in the development and launch of innovative pharmaceutical products across Europe. As Norgine’s operations expand and the need grows to have secure connectivity with business partners, a multi-lingual intranet and extranet is a key business tool for timely communication and productivity.

According to Paul Pay, Vice–President of Global Marketing and Business Development for Norgine, “Introducing new medicines is a complex and time-consuming process that involves close co-ordination between our sales and marketing, development, clinical research, product registration and manufacturing resources in several countries. The SORCE multi-language Intranet enables us to ensure that we can maintain all information on projects and internal communication in English, French and German in the respective country sites.”

Paul added, “With over 900 employees in 15 countries our multi-language Intranet from SORCE provides us with the ideal solution to ensure we can securely share information on all aspects of our business. Investing in the latest technology solutions, such as the multi-language intranet form SORCE, will help to keep us ahead in our highly competitive market.”

“The SORCE multi-language intranet provides a highly flexible solution that recognises a user’s language preference at logon and enables administrators to publish language-specific information to the appropriate intranet sites,” commented John Nicklin, Sales Director of SORCE. “When you add in over 30 out-of-the-box local language applications that are part of the SORCE intranet solution, companies such as Norgine can take full advantage of intranet technology to maximise their worldwide communication and productivity in the language most relevant to each employee and business partner.”
